EXPLANATION    OF    CLASSIFICATION. 


The  general  idea  of  this  system  is,  First,  the  division  and  arrangement  of  the  books,  in 
such  principal  and  subordinate  classes,  as  will  make  it  most  easy  to  determine  what  works  the 
Library  contains,  on  any  topic,  and  in  what  part  of  the  collection  books  on  any  given  subject 
are  to  be  found ;  and,  Second,  the  numbering  and  arranging  them  on  the  shelves  in  such  a  way 
that  they  can  be  most  readily  found  without  consulting  a  catalogue,  or  stopping,  to  ascertain  the 
shelf  number. 

In  working  out  this  idea  it  was  found  that  all  the  books  in  any  library  of  a  general  character, 
could  be  gathered  into  about  twenty  primary  groups  or  classes,  each  of  which  would  have  a 
certain  completeness,  and  would  embrace  a  kind  of  book  that  was  not  included  in  any  other 
class  ;  and  also,  that  the  works  in  each  of  these  several  groups  or  classes,  while  having  certain 
characteristics  in  common,  yet  had  peculiarities  which  furnish  ground  for  the  formation  of  sub- 
ordinate classes.  Some  of  these  primary  classes  could  readily  be  divided  into  fifteen  or  more 
secondary  classes,  while  others  required  only  six  or  eight ;  and  it  seemed  altogether  best,  to 
make  such  an  arrangement  of  classes,  and  sub-classes,  as  would  be  at  once  recognized  as 
natural  and  convenient  in  practical  operation. 

In  making  this  distribution  into  classes,  it  was  found  that  about  one  half  of  the  old  divisions 
in  the  Library,  could  be  retained  as  primary  classes  in  the  new  arrangement,  with  more  or  less 
of  transferring  of  individual  books  ;  among  these  classes  are  those  of  History,  Biography, 
Theology,  Fine  Arts  and  Medicine.  In  other  cases,  two  or  more  of  the  old  classes  were  found 
to  embrace  works  that  had  close  affinities  with  each  other,  and  so  they'were  ccmsolidated  to  form 
new  primary  classes  ;  thus,  the  old  divisions  of  Poetry  and  Drama,  have  been  united  to  form  one 
primary  class,  under  the  compound  name  ;  and  the  three  former  classes.  Natural  Philosophy, 
Astronomy  and  Mathematics,  have  been  united  into  one,  under  the  name  of  Mathematics  and 
Physics.  The  old  classes  of  Commerce  and  Agriculture  has  been  consolidated  with  that  of 
Useful  Arts  ;  and  that  of  Political  Economy  has  been  combined  with  Sociology  and  Law. 

The  primary  classes  as  they  now  stand  are  these,  viz.  :

^^'^  ;  :■'  :  NEW  CLASSIFICATION. 


The  order  of  these  classes  is  different  from  that  formerly  in  use,  but  is  a  more  natural  one, 
and  will  be  found  more  useful  for  the  purposes  of  study,  and  as  an  aid  in  the  finding  of  books. 

As  will  be  seen,  the  old  method  of  designating  the  classes  by  numerals  has  been  given  up, 
and  letters  are  used  in  place  of  figures ;  capitals  being  used  for  the  primary  classes,  and  small 
letters  for  the  subordijiate  classes.  The  object  of  this  is  to  make  two  characters  serve  to 
designate  a  large  number  of  classes,  and  especially  to  show  the  relation  of  subordinate  classes 
to  each  other.  All  the  books  in  the  library  having  the  same  class  designation  are  at  once  seen 
to  belong  to  our  primary  class. 

Formerly,  the  books  were  placed  on  the  shelves  at  random,  and  without  any  attempt  at 
alphabetical  arrangement.  Under  the  new  system,  the  books  in  each  sub-class  are  placed  on 
the  shelves  in  strict  alphabetical  order,  by  the  names  of  the  authors,  excepting  in  Biography ;  or 
if  the  author  is  unknown  they  are  arranged  according  to  the  titles. 

A  scheme  for  numbering  the  books  has  been  adopted,  which  admits  of  an  indefinite  enlarge- 
ment of  each  of  the  divisions  by  the  insertion  of  other  works  in  their  alphabetical  place,  without 
disturbing  the  numerical  order.  This  scheme  consists  in  the  assignment  of  ten  thousand 
numbers  (o  to  9999)  to  each  of  the  subordinate  classes,  and  the  distribution  of  all  the  names  of 
authors  over  this  whole  range  of  numbers.  This  is  done  by  reference  to  a  table  constructed  for 
the  purpose  which  includes  all  possible  combinations  of  letters,  and  is  based  on  a  comparison 
of  the  names  occurring  in  several  of  the  largest  catalogues.  A  reference  to  this  table  determines 
the  number  that  should  be  given  to  any  new  book  that  is  added  to  any  of  the  classes.  It  follows, 
of  course,  that  works  by  any  given  author,  have  the  same  number  in  whatever  part  of  the 
Library  they  may  be  found.  This  will  be  found  to  be  an  important  guide  to  the  ready  finding 
of  books. 

It  was  found  necessary  to  treat  the  department  of  Biography  in  a  special  manner,  because, 
here  no  subjective  arrangement  was  practicable,  and  some  subdivision  was  necessary  on  account 
of  the  extent  and  importance  of  this  class.  It  was  therefore  decided  to  put  into  one  group,  all 
Biographical  Dictionaries  and  other  collections  of  lives,  and  into  another  group,  or  series  of 
groups,  all  individual  biographies.  In  the  first  group  the  books  are  arranged  in  alphabetical 
order  by  the  name  of  author  or  editor,  or  by  titles  if  anonymous  ;  and  are  designated  by  the 
single  letter  L.  The  books  forming  the  collection  of  individual  biographies  are  arranged  in 
twenty-six  groups,  according  to  the  names  of  the  subjects  of  the  biographies,  or  the  persons 
whose  lives  are  written.  These  are  designated  by  the  capital  letter  L  and  a  small  letter,  which 
is  the  initial  of  the  person  whose  life  is  written.  Thus,  the  books  in  the  first  of  these  groups  are 
marked  La,  in  the  second,  Lb,  in  the  third,  Lc,  and  so  on  through  the  alphabet.  In  each  of 
these  groups  the  books  are  arranged  on  the  shelves  in  alphabetical  order,  not  by  name  of 
author,  as  in  other  parts  of  the  Library,  but  by  the  subject  of  the  biography ;  thus,  bringing  all 
the  lives  of  any  one  person  together  on  the  same  shelf.  Each  of  the  groups  in  this  department 
is  numbered  independently,  and  on  the  scheme  employed  in  other  parts  of  the  Library. 

The  department  of  Prose  Fiction,  in  our  Library,  is  a  large  one  and  some  subdivision  of  it, 
as  an  aid  to  the  ready  finding  of  particular  books,  is  quite  essential.  As  no  division  by  original 
language,  or  by  subject,  could  be  of  much  practical  advantage  a  treatment  of  it  was  adopted, 
somewhat  similar  to  that  employed  in  the  department  of  Biography.  All  the  Novels  have  been 
arranged  m  twenty-six  groups  ;  those  whose  writers'  names  begin  with  A.,  forming  one  group, 
those  beginning  with  B.  another,  and  those  with  C.  a  third,  and  so  on  through  the  alphabet. 
These  initial  letters  are  placed  on  the  books  in  connection  with  the  numbers,  and  serve  also  to 
distinguish  the  several  groups.  The  authors  in  each  of  these  groups  are  arranged  in  close  alpha- 
betical order,  and  the  individual  books  of  each  author,  are  placed  in  alphabetical  order  by  their 
titles.  In  this  department  no  letter  or  other  character  is  used  as  a  general  designation  of  the 
class ;  the  method  of  numbering,  and  the  form  of  the  label  being  sufficient  to  distinguish  the 
books  from  those  of  any  other  class. 

The  plan  adopted  for  numbering  the  books  in  this  department  differs  from  that  employed  in 
other  parts  of  the  Library,  in  using  tiuo  sets  of  figures.  The  first,  or  upper  number  in  connec- 
tion with  the  initial  letter,  designates  the  author,  or  a  group  of  authors  whose  names  are  very 


NEW  CLASSIFICATION. 


nearly  alike  ;  and  the  second,  or  lower  number  designates  the  individual  books  of  each  author. 
It  follows  that  all  the  Novels  of  any  author, — and  of  some  others  standing  in  close  proximity 
with  these,— bear  the  same  author-number  in  connection  with  the  common  initial,  while  the 
second  or  lower  number  is  different  for  each  work  under  this  author-number.  Thus,  all  the 
books  written  by  Barker,  Barkley,  Barlee,  and  by  other  persons  whose  names  may  fall  between 
these  have  B.  ii8,  as  the  first  or  author-number;  while  the  second  or  lower  numbers  of  all  the 
books  written  by  these  persons  will  range  from  i  to  999.  Each  of  these  twenty-six  groups  of 
Novels  is  numbered  independently,  and  the  numbers  in  no  case  consist  of  more  than  three 
figures  in  each  set.  Wide  spaces  are  left,  as  in  the  other  classes,  so  as  to  allow  the  insertion  of 
other  books  in  their  proper  places,  and  the  perpetuation  indefinitely  of  the  alphabetical  and 
numerical  order  on  the  shelves. 

The  following  synopsis  of  the  New  Classification  will  serve  as  an  aid  in  the  better  under- 
standing and  use  of  the  system.

EXPLANATION  OF  THE  NEW  SYSTEM  OF  CLASSIFICATION, 

DEVISED    FOR   THE    MERCANTILE    LIBRARY   OF   PHILADELPHIA, 

By  JOHN  EDMANDS,  Librarian. 


The  general  idea  of  this  system  is,  First,  the  division  and  arrangement  of  the  books, 
in  such  principal  and  subordinate  classes,  as  will  make  it  most  easy  to  determine  what 
works  the  Library  contains,  on  any  topic,  and  in  what  part  of  the  collection  books  on  any 
given  subject  are  to  be  found  ;  and,  Second,  the  numbering  and  arranging  of  them  on  the 
shelves  in  such  a  way  that  they  can  be  most  readily  found  without  consulting  a  catalogue, 
or  stopping  to  ascertain  the  shelf  number. 

In  working  out  this  idea  it  was  found  that  all  the  books  in  any  library  of  a  general 
character,  could  be  gathered  into  about  twenty  primary  groups  or  classes,  each  of  which 
would  have  a  certain  completeness,  and  would  embrace  a  kind  of  book  that  was  not  included 
in  any  other  class ;  and  also,  that  the  works  in  each  of  these  several  groups  or  classes, 
while  having  certain  characteristics  in  common,  yet  had  peculiarities  which  furnish  ground 
for  the  formation  of  subordinate  classes.  Some  of  these  primary  classes  could  readily  be 
divided  into  fifteen  or  more  secondary  classes,  while  others  required  only  six  or  eight ;  and 
it  seemed  altogether  best  to  make  such  an  arrangement  of  classes,  and  sub-classes,  as  would 
be  at  once  recognized  as  natural  and  convenient  in  practical  operation. 

In  making  this  distribution  into  classes,  it  was  found  that  about  one  half  of  the  old 
divisions  in  the  Library,  could  be  retained  as  primary  classes  in  the  new  arrangement,  with 
more  or  less  of  transferring  of  individual  books ;  among  these  classes  are  those  of  History, 
Biography,  Religion,  Fine  Arts  and  Medicine.  In  other  cases,  two  or  more  of  the  old 
classes  were  found  to  embrace  works  that  had  close  affinities  with  each  other,  and  so  they 
were  consolidated  to  form  new  primary  classes ;  thus,  the  old  divisions  of  Poetry  and 
Drama  have  been  united  to  form  one  primary  class,  under  the  compound  name;  and  the 
three  former  classes,  Natural  Philosophy,  Astronomy  and  Mathematics,  have  been  united 
into  one,  under  the  name  of  Mathematics  and  Physics.  The  old  classes  of  Commerce  and 
Agriculture  have  been  consolidated  with  that  of  Useful  Arts;  and  that  of  Political  Economy 
has  been  combined  with  Sociology  and  L^w. 

The  primary  classes  as  they  now  stand  are  these,  viz.  :

The  order  of  these  classes  is  different  from  that  formerly  in  use,  but  is  a  more  natural 
one,  and  will  be  found  more  useful  for  the  purposes  of  study,  and  as  an  aid  in  the  finding 
of  books. 

As  will  be  seen,  the  old  method  of  designating  the  classes  by  numerals  has  been  given 
up,  and  letters  are  used  in  place  of  figures;  capitals  being  used  for  the  primary  classes,  and 
lower  case  letters  for  the  subordinate  classes.  The  object  of  this  is  to  make  two  characters 
serve  to  designate  a  large  number  of  classes,  and  especially  to  show  the  relation  of  subordi- 
nate classes  to  each  other.  Letters  for  the  sub-classes  are  not  taken  in  order  of  the 
alphabet ;  some  letters  are  omitted  to  be  used  when  any  class  should  become  so  large  as  to 
require  division.  As  orders  for  books  are  transmitted  orally,  it  is  important  that  the  shelf 
designation  should  be  so  simple  that  any  runner  or  page  can  readily  take  it  in. 

Formerly,  the  books  were  placed  on  the  shelves  at  random,  and  without  any  attempt 
at  alphabetical  arrangement,  as  they  are  now  in  some  systems  of  classification.  Under  this 
system,  the  books  in  each  sub-class  are  placed  on  the  shelves  in  strict  alphabetical  order, 
by  the  names  of  the  authors,  excepting  in  Biography;  or  if  the  author  is  unknown  they  are 
arranged  according  to  the  titles.     The  library  thus  is  made  largely  its  own  catalogue. 

A  scheme  for  numbering  the  books  has  been  adopted,  which  admits  of  an  indefinite 
enlargement  of  each  of  the  divisions  by  the  insertion  of  other  works  in  their  alphabetical 
place,  without  disturbing  the  numerical  order.  This  scheme  consists  in  the  assignment  of 
ten  thousand  numbers  (o  to  9999)  to  each  of  the  subordinate  classes,  and  the  distribution 
of  all  the  names  of  authors  over  this  whole  range  of  numbers.  This  has  been  done  by 
reference  to  a  table  constructed  for  the  purpose  which  includes  all  possible  combinations  of 
letters,  and  is  based  on  a  comparison  of  the  names  occurring  in  several  of  the  largest 
catalogues.  A  reference  to  this  table  determines  the  number  that  should  be  given  to  any 
new  book  that  is  added  to  any  of  the  classes.  It  follows,  of  course,  that  works  by  any 
given  author  have  the  same  number  in  whatever  part  of  the  Library  they  may  be  found. 
This  will  be  found  to  be  an  important  guide  to  the  ready  finding  of  books.  Ordinarily, 
only  four  figures  are  required  for  the  shelf  mark  of  any  book.  The  numbers  are  treated  as 
decimals ;  and  whenever  it  may  become  necessary,  additional  figures  can  be  used  without 
disturbing  the  alphabetical  arrangement. 

It  was  found  necessary  to  treat  the  department  of  Biography  in  a  special  manner, 


NEW    CLASSIFICATION. 


because  here  no  subjective  arrangement  was  practicable,  and  some  subdivision  was  desirable 
on  account  of  the  extent  and  importance  of  the  class.  It  was  therefore  decided  to  put 
into  one  group,  all  Biographical  Dictionaries  and  other  collections  of  lives,  and  into  another 
group,  or  series  of  groups,  all  individual  biographies.  In  the  first  group  the  books  are 
arranged  in  alphabetical  order  by  the  name  of  author  or  editor,  or  by  titles  if  anonymous  ; 
and  are  designated  by  the  single  letter  L,  and  numbered  on  the  scheme  used  in  other  parts 
of  the  Library. 

The  books  forming  the  collection  of  individual  biographies  are  arranged  in  twenty-six 
groups,  by  the  names  of  the  subjects  of  the  biographies,  or  the  persons  whose  lives  are 
written.  These  are  designated  by  the  capital  letter  L  and  a  small  letter,  which  is  the  initial 
of  the  person  whose  life  is  written.  Thus,  the  books  in  the  first  of  these  groups  are  marked 
La,  in  the  second,  Lb,  in  the  third,  Lc,  and  so  on  through  the  alphabet.  In  each  of  these 
groups  the  books  are  arranged  on  the  shelves  in  alphabetical  order,  not  by  name  of  autJior, 
as  in  other  parts  of  the  Library,  but  by  the  subject  of  the  biography ;  thus,  all  the  lives  of 
any  one  person  are  brought  together  on  the  same  shelf.  Each  of  the  groups  in  this 
department  is  numbered  independently,  and  on  a  scheme  analogous  to  that  employed  in 
other  parts  of  the  Library. 

In  the  department  of  Prose  Fiction,  on  account  of  its  extent,  some  division  is  essential 
in  order  that  books  may  be  readily  found.  As  no  division  by  subject  or  original  language 
could  be  of  much  practical  advantage,  a  treatment  of  it  was  adopted  somewhat 'similar  to 
that  employed  in  the  department  of  Biography.  All  the  Novels  have  been  arranged  in 
twenty-six  groups  by  the  names  of  the  authors;  those  whose  writers'  names  begin  with  A, 
forming  one  group,  those  beginning  with  B,  another,  and  those  with  C,  a  third,  and  so  on 
through  the  alphabet.  These  initial  letters  are  placed  on  the  books  in  connection  with  the 
numbers,  and  form  a  part  of  the  shelf  mark.  The  authors  in  each  of  these  groups  are 
arranged  in  close  alphabetical  order,  and  the  individual  books  of  each  author,  are  placed  in 
alphabetical  order  by  their  titles.  In  this  department  no  letter  or  other  character  is  used  as 
a  general  designation  of  the  class ;  the  method  of  numbering,  and  the  form  of  the  label 
being  sufficient  to  distinguish  the  books  from  those  of  any  other  class. 

The  plan  adopted  for  numbering  the  books  in  this  department  differs  from  that 
employed  in  other  parts  of  the  Library,  in  using  two  sets  of  figures.  The  first,  or  upper 
number  in  connection  with  the  initial  letter,  designates  the  author,  or  a  group  of  authors 
whose  names  are  very  nearly  alike;  and  the  second,  or  lower  number  designates  the 
individual  books  of  each  author.  It  follows  that  all  the  Novels  of  any  author, — and  of 
some  others  standing  in  close  proximity  with  these, — bear  the  same  author-number  in  con- 
nection with  the  common  initial,  while  the  second  or  lower  number  is  different  for  each 
work  under  this  author-number.  Thus,  all  the  books  written  by  Barker,  Barkley,  Barlee, 
and  by  other  persons  whose  names  may  fall  between  these  have  B.  ii8,  as  the  first  or  author- 
number  ;  while  the  second  or  lower  numbers  of  all  the  books  written  by  these  persons  will 
range  from  i  to  999.  Each  of  these  twenty-six  groups  of  Novels  is  numbered  independently, 
and  the  numbers  in  no  case  consist  of  more  than  three  figures  in  each  set.  Wide  spaces  are 
left,  as  in  the  other  classes,  so  as  to  allow  tlie  insertion  of  other  books  in  their  proper 
places,  and  the  perpetuation  indefinitely  of  the  alphabetical  and  numerical  order  on  the 
shelves.     All  the  numbers  are  treated  as  decimals. 

The  following  synopsis  of  the  New  Classification  will  serve  as  an  aid  in  the  better 
understanding  and  use  of  the  system.
